Got em, installed em, love em. They've been on about a month and are sitting about an inch over stock. Nice ride, not to rough, but they really hold up to some heavy crap in the cargo area. I ordered the Dorman 929-301
My vidoe doesn't really show the end results, but if you're doing them yourself, it will show you what I went through with a rust belt 96 XJ

I just purchased the same ones, have not installed them yet.
After doing research it seems the dorman are the ones everyone (for stock applications) uses.
I have found numerous posts online of users having no problems with them.
They are made in Columbia but could not tell you what the quality is like, they sure are heavy though, LOL.
Avoid anything that says omix-ada.

I've had them for several months, carrying heavy loads of coal, dogs, wood, tools and any combination of them. After settling in, I'm probably an inch over factory stock height. They ride well and are worth the money.....

Thanks again for the kind words, and for the money, I couldn't be happier with the Dormans.

I would also suggest having the front and rear bolts and nuts on hand just in case one of them snaps. From what I have read, the front bolts sometimes break, the pressed in nut spins or, the metal sleeve on the bushing that the bolt goes through becomes rusted to the bolt and the bolt just spins when trying to remove it.
These are the stock numbers I have found:
Bolts - 3420 2118
Nuts - 1150 2814
Check to make sure they will fit your year.
Good luck
